Dear Maybaleen my Queen
If I give you a magic bean
Will you make your money selling flower stems
Or joke with a giant till the big man grins
Dear Maybaleen my Queen
I know that you are not too keen
On laying claim to a ramblers face
But I've built my bed in the negative space
I tried to end my restlessness
went to the Pope but couldn't confess
So I sold it off for a real good deal
Price of a unicycle with a missing weal.
Then I played the part of a grateful man
Avoiding all things with a government band
Finding direction in the lies of eyes:
A lukewarm corps will be just fine
And there's no life lost while standing in line
Dear Maybaleen my Queen
This party ground is not your seen
Trains don't ever come this far
And on these streets your shoes will mar.
Dear Maybaleen my Queen
I know that you are not too keen
On laying claim to a ramblers face
But I've built my bed in the negative space
I met your body on a dried up creek
Best sort of water, cant spring a leak
Bought your love for a real good deal
Price of a lost letter with a broken seal
Living in a castle made of desert cacti
Clueless to the cause of my bleeding and my sighs
Expected I'd be set if I could feel something wet
Cheated on you with a boat I met
Long lost the manual for regret
Dear Maybaleen my Queen
If I give you a magic bean
Will you make your money selling flower stems
Or joke with a giant till the big man grins
Dear Maybaleen my Queen
You shouldn't be where rats are mean
There are deep hols at the world's end
You could fall in and never mend
Would like to tell you where I am
But now I'm lost all over again
Bought back my soul for a real good deal
The price of a breeze nobody can feel
Send your love to a giant's layer
His big hands may keep you there.
Dear Maybaleen my Queen
I know that you are not too keen
On laying claim to a ramblers face
But I've built my bed in the negative space
